How we’ve helped our energy and utilities clients

We have worked with a number of Energy and Utilities companies, helping them to develop and deploy new strategies, supporting the development of growth plans, managing failure demand and helping to improve processes to reduce costs. We have helped our clients to achieve:

• £4 million savings per year over 5 years based on reduced management costs (20 x ROI)
• 39% cost reduction, equivalent to £1.2 million (12 x ROI)
• 20% reduction in overheads
• Development of a growth plan adding 33% to the revenue line and 86% to profitability

The current climate for Energy and Utilities companies remains challenging with ever rising energy prices, tight credit markets and rising demand for energy. There is a need to balance customer perceptions with maximising opportunities to deliver better returns for shareholders. At the same time there is a need to ensure the security of supplies and get the best value from partnerships and alliances. Balancing these needs is at the heart of our approach to Accelerating Change – Reducing Costs – Protecting Reputation service.

Our energy and utilities clients include:

National Grid, Transco, EDF Energy, United Utilities, UK Power Networks, Yorkshire Water, Loop, BNFL, Shell, Northern Gas Networks

What our energy and utilities clients are saying

The simplicity and effectiveness of Oakland’s approach to strategic planning is very powerful. It has delivered benefits beyond the outcomes expected and, because of its simplicity, made the communication of the strategic plan easier to plan and deliver”. EDF – Richard Harpley

“Oakland differentiated themselves by excellent project management of change. Excellent relationships were established and have been maintained. “ It’s rare that you can genuinely trust a consultant”. They met the political and emotional needs of change just as well was the task. The facilitation of the executive workshops was excellent; “ the result we achieved was fantastic” EDF Energy - Steve Hayfield (customer services )
